Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 2 cups Spinach
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it gently between paper towels to remove excess water. Crumble the tofu into small, scrambled-like pieces with your hands or a fork and set aside.
Dice the red bell pepper and zucchini into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves and slice the green onions thinly. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the diced red bell pepper and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Add the crumbled tofu to the skillet and sprinkle the turmeric powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper over the mixture. Stir well to evenly coat the tofu and vegetables.
Cook the tofu mixture for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the tofu to absorb the seasonings and heat through.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until it wilts.
Stir in the nutritional yeast to add a cheesy flavor, and adjust the seasonings to taste if needed.
Remove the skillet from heat and garnish the scramble with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve hot on its own, or pair with toast, tortillas, or avocado slices for a complete meal.
